SC10 4x4 Thread
#8086
Just ordered my SC10 4x4 last week, should be here tomorrow. This is my jump back into RC racing, have been out for quite a few years, last RC I owned was back when b2's were the hot thing. I have been doing a bit of research on little bits of this and that, I have the Tekin Pro4 4600kv on back order and am debating picking up the Tekin RX8, haven't made a decision on a radio just yet though, just wanted to throw my hellos in there

What most people do is cannibalize the plug by bending the tab inside the pin, requiring a needle to take it out, and breaking the tab in the process.
That is why I recommend the dummy plug instead of removing the wire

@SourDieselX: What's your budget for the radio? Lod, not everyone has $300 ready to be spared on a radio

Holy smokes Batman!!

That makes my plugs cry

Edit: What about running 20k in front diff and 7k in rear for a very tight track? I think 30k might take out too much steering (which trust me, is needed
)

check out a specktrum,good units and good factory service. they fixed two of mine,said there wasn't anything wrong with them, but changed circuit boards and antennas anyway...(?)
still at least they fixed them and didn't charge for their service and one was over a year old,i call that good service..

If you want to keep the price down, pick up a used DX3S on here for $120 or so. Or a DX3C from stormer new with a receiver for $129.

Dont skip out on a good radio. The radio will outlast many of the vehicles you buy. If your on a budget look for a used airtronics M8. Still a very good radio to this day. I have had one since 2000 and it still works awesome. I Just keep mine as a back up in case something happens to my dx3r.

You won't believe how much difference a good radio makes. You don't necessarily need an M11x, or 4PK, etc. Used M8 or used M11 can be had for a good price. Spektrum module and receiver for M8 works very well, I sold one I had a few months back. You can also find the older KO (Mars, Mars-R) with the Spektrum modules for a good price. Still a great radio, I have a year 2000 Limited Edition that I'll never part with.
